  • PSG held to a 1-1 draw against Nantes, maintaining their unbeaten record this season.
  • The draw extends PSG's away unbeaten streak to 39 matches in Ligue 1.
  • Manager Luis Enrique emphasizes player motivation amid tight schedule and upcoming Champions League matches.
  • PSG's Vitinha scored first, but Nantes equalized late in the match.
  • The team looks to continue their unbeaten run in the remaining Ligue 1 fixtures.

Paris St Germain were held to a 1-1 draw at Nantes on Tuesday, maintaining their unbeaten record in Ligue 1 and allowing them to remain on course to become the first team to finish an entire season without a loss in the French top flight. PSG had previously secured the Ligue 1 title and stood just four matches away from achieving this historic feat, which only Nantes has come close to with an unbeaten start in the 1994/95 season but eventually lost a match, according to Channel News Asia and Le Monde.

The match saw PSG's Vitinha open the scoring with a well-placed half-volley in the first half. However, Nantes responded late with an equalizer from Douglas Augusto, preventing PSG from claiming the win. "We can still improve and do even better. We should have won the match, and one small detail made all the difference," said PSG coach Luis Enrique, highlighting the challenges in maintaining focus during matches against motivated opposition, according to Reuters and Le Monde.

With this draw, PSG extended their unbeaten away run in Ligue 1 to 39 matches, surpassing AC Milan's previous record of 38. Luis Enrique expressed pride in his team's accomplishment, stating, "Today is a special day for us, beating AC Milan's record. I congratulate my players for that," while also indicating the need for improvement as they prepare for upcoming challenges, including a Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.

Looking ahead, PSG, who have already secured their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title, hold a 23-point lead over second-placed Olympique de Marseille. As they prepare for their next fixture against Nice while also managing the rigors of a Champions League schedule, player rotation and motivation will remain crucial elements in their strategy for the season's conclusion, according to Channel News Asia and Reuters.
